The new plant is located in Ploiesti West Park, alongside the company’s brake pad plant.
Federal-Mogul extended its investment in the brake pad plant by EUR60 million, added to the investment in the new windshield wipers plant, which generated 250 new jobs.
In April 2016, Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, started the construction on a new factory that manufactures windshield wipers.
In the second half of 2015, Federal-Mogul bought Honeywell’s brake system division, including the factory in Ploiesti West Park, for $155 million.
The new windshield wipers plant will supply carmakers in Europe.
